Greater Montréal’s fintech industry adds 50 new jobs

Montréal, November 30, 2016 – Adaptive Financial Consulting, a British fintech company, announced the opening of a North American research and development centre in Greater Montréal as part of its global expansion strategy. The new subsidiary, Technologies Adaptive Inc., plans to create 50 jobs over the next three years.

“Investing in Greater Montréal was the obvious choice for Adaptive Financial Consulting, as we are pursuing an ambitious expansion strategy to break into the North American market,” said Marc-Antoine Latour, Director, Technologies Adaptive. “Greater Montréal has everything we need: competitive operating costs, highly skilled workers, and organizations such as Montréal International and Investissement Québec that can provide strategic support. What’s more, as I am from the area, we are very familiar with the Montréal market.”

Such innovative companies are looking for top graduates, complementary businesses and an investment-friendly tax environment—and that’s precisely what we can offer them.
